Malone says 'no deal'

'Amid speculation that the Penguins were about to send Ryan Malone to
a Western Conference team for a player and/or draft pick, Malone's
agent signaled last night that his client was not interested in such a
deal and that Malone would rather wait to become an unrestricted free
agent July 1. The Columbus Dispatch re****ted yesterday that the
Penguins were going to trade Malone's right to Columbus, Vancouver or
Minnesota. But Malone's agent, Mike Liut, suggested that a team
trading for his client might end up empty-handed if Malone chooses not
to sign.'

This would be a good power forward that the Habs need. From what I
have read he will command $5 mil per for 5 years - so the question is
- is he worth it? Keep in mind that power forwards are far and few
between.
